Voila quelques temps que je m'aventure dans une nouvelle direction. J'ai découvert une artiste américaine Jane Davies, qui me plaît beaucoup: j'aime sa façon de chercher, d'essayer, d'expérimenter; je me retrouve dans ce tâtonnement perpétuel, ces essais; elle fait beaucoup de collages et j'aime sa façon d'intégrer le collage à sa peinture. Comme moi, elle est adepte des multitudes de couches, des transparences... Lately I've been painting differently. I've discovered the American artist Jane Davies, and I love what she paints and the way she paints it: just like me she tries things out, paints over it, experiments; I just love the way she modestly admits that she never knows where she's going to end with a painting. I love the way she inserts collages in her painting, they are not just pieces of paper stuck there, they are really part of the process, even if in the end, you don't even see the piece she's carefully glued. It may get covered by layers of paint, because, just like me, she is an adept of layering and transparencies.

La plupart des tableaux ont trouvé un coin à leur imageMost paintings found a place that suited them so well, you could have thought it belonged there.

Les gens du village ont aimé voir un petit air de fête et un peu d'animation dans ces rues si calmes, et les gens d'ailleurs ont aimé venir faire un tour à la campagne.People in the village loved to see some life in the usually calm streets, and people who came to the village enjoyed coming "to the country side" and seeing such calm.
